Gorgeous 1980s metallic pleated dress in red. This dress has a pretty cool history. Most people reference it to the gold dress Marilyn Monroe wears designed originally by William Travilla. Of course this is where the inspiration comes from but this 80s version was originally designed by Egyptian fashion designer Samir Mohtady who came to the USA to study art. The dress went on to be famously worn by Vanna White in blue! Samir unfortunately passed away due to the AIDS pandemic in the 1980s but his legacy lives on through this dress! This one in particular is lined with a slip line lining. The color of this one is a white/cream base with a pink iridescent metallic threading! Frederick’s of Hollywood also had a version of this dress! I added the original ad for it as well.
